State Of Decay Title Update 3 Out Today, Lets You Team Up With NPCs

Rough XBLA diamond State Of Decay is scheduled to receive another title update today, which fixes some more annoying issues and adds some welcome extra features. Chief amongst them is the ability to bring a community member along on missions to "watch your back," which should make things easier - if even more tense. Note that the bug that accidentally let players exceed the population cap and break their save file has been removed, but not retroactively fixed if you've been affected.

We've got the patch notes below, fresh from Undead Labs themselves. In case you don't know, State Of Decay refreshes the tired old zombie apocalypse trope with a massive open world and consequences to every decision. More details in our 8/10 State Of Decay review.
